Sir A. Ryan stressed
Mr. Render’s explanation that what was proposed was not an
offer of the hurra Dira as such, out of a geotraphieax line
which took full account of it. The Sauai Government could
be reminded that they themselves had been reuucea to defining
their desiderata south of Pararlel 2h° N purely by geographical
co-orainates.
MR. CLAUGON said that he thought that the India
Office would be prepared to agree, subject to the under
standing that certain key points and areas, such as the
Sabkhat Matti, Aqal, ‘ nc of course the Khor-al-Odeid,
were safe-guarded for the Sheikhdom of Abu I/nabi.
GOLOth'L RO'. hE indicated th? t he aid not opp ose the
abandonment of Banaiyan.
MR. REN■ hh said that the line he naa suggested was
designed to safeguard the points and ^reas referred to by
Mr. Clauson but that the two pivotal points appeared to be
those which he had described as key point ,f A M arpi key
point ,f i3”. It woxlu oe necessary to have at the earliest
possible moment further data to enabxe His majesty’s Govern
ment to fix these points and adequately to defend their claim
to them on behalf of the Sheikh of Abu Lhabi in the impend
ing discussions with Ibn Saud. He therefore suggested
that a telegram should be sent to the Acting Political
Resident on this particular aspect of the question asking
him to make definite suggestions for these two points,
and to supply suitable arguments in defence of our claim
to them for Sir Andrew Ryan’s use.
MR. CLAUSON and COLONEL FOvvLM agreed that it would be
desirable to ao this.
